where'd you get the Torque converter for your trans? What was the price?

It was out of a Chryler Reman 46RH that was in a truck that got totalled... So I just kinda had it laying around as a "good used" core

TCS will make you a nice furnace brazed 2000 stall unit with their "better" lock-up clutch material for about $200 though.

Oh, guess I should say, while I`m here, that I got the engine/trans out and will be mounting the Magnum up today

Gaping hole.


Trans tunnel


Drive shaft tunnel


Shiny


REAR axle


Drive shaft rear view


Drive shaft side view


Engine mount


Trans cross member


Pan(s) hang down a lil...


Rear leaf spring mount


Front leaf spring mount


View of how I tied the rear cross brace (for the rear mounts) together


Fuel cell, complete with fill neck and fuel pump module from car...


I'd post up some underhood pics, but it's pretty ugly under there yet... I'm still working on getting everything cleaned up under there (wires everywhere). I'll have plenty of time to do so too; I have to come up with $100 for a Cam Position Sensor and a Crank Position Sensor. I knew this thing was gonna nickel and dime me to death, but sheesh, this is ridiculous!

Well, I had some issues getting it hitting on all 8 (junkyard had given me a PCM from a 3.9 V6), but it LIVES!

That's the idea, turning heads that is... I definitely plan to hit the 1320 this summer

Not yet, I need to finish hooking up the rear brakes, and jack the rear off the ground to run the trans through the gears with no load before I try moving the car under it's own power... That and I need to at the very least get the front half of the exhaust done to install the O2 sensor (it's open headers right now).
